A TEENAGER out walking her dog set her pet on a man when he got out of his car with no clothes on.

A TEENAGER out walking her dog set her pet on a man when he got out of his car with no clothes on.

The 18-year-old was walking along Knutsford Road in Anderton when a man pulled up in his car, got out and exposed himself to her.

The startled young lady let her dog off the lead when he started walking towards her.

The dog, which police say could have been a rottweiller, ran at the man who quickly jumped back in his car and sped off.

The incident happened a week last Wednesday, on August 29, sometime between 1.45pm and 2.30pm. The victim describes the man as about 40 years old with black hair and a moustache. He was about 6ft tall and of a medium build.

The young woman said the man was a dark-skinned European.

Keith Beresford, a spokesman for Cheshire Constabulary said: 'This is a case of indecent exposure ­- the man didn't get close enough to the female for it to be any more serious.

'The intervention of the dog may have prevented it from going any further.'
